First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how to make childcare centres healthier by adding nutritious lunches and structured physical activity. Researchers worked with 315 primary school children and their schools to see what changes work best in real-life settings. The goal was to understand how to roll out these health programs widely, not to test a specific treatment.

Who is studied
A closed design will be used, meaning that at baseline (T0), all children in study year four to six of the childcare centres will be invited to participate in the study. At T1, these children will be students in study year five to seven, and at T2 they will be in study year six to eight. Based on the amount of children enrolled in school year 2019/2020, approximately 685 children are eligible to participate in the study.
